Ratings and reviews
Melissa and Vaughan tool wonderful care of our 10-month-old pup for our first weekend away. From our first communication to our pick up at the end of Birdie's stay, we were so impressed and grateful for the warm and thorough care they provided. The communication very easy, and they offered a meet-and-greet in advance, which was super helpful. They asked questions about her routines and preferences with attention to detail that made us feel Birdie would be in good hands. They sent photos during her stay which were so fun to see! We highly recommend Melissa and Vaughan! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl! We are grateful for your care!
Romeo enjoyed his day with Melissa, Vaughan and Beanie! Melissa was easygoing and caring, she even went above and beyond with extra long walks and potty breaks for him. She sent updates throughout the day, which was appreciated. Beanie’s house was very pet friendly, and Beanie was cute and well-trained as well :) Thank you!
Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter/walker. She cares for dogs with as much warmth and heart as she does for her own dogs and family members. She takes great photos of the fur-babies and will send them to you with updates on how they are doing. Highly recommended.
I’m excited to recommend Melissa as a pet sitter and caregiver. I’ve seen her care for dogs through every stage, from puppyhood to senior years. She has the patience, love and energy that dogs respond well to. With puppies, Melissa is steady and attentive with the basics that matter. Safe routines, consistent feeding, play time and potty breaks. With a senior dog, she’s equally dedicated, adapting care as needs change and making comfort, safety, and dignity the priority. She’s observant, gentle, and proactive in doing what is needed. Melissa is dependable, communicates clearly, and treats every pet like family. If you’re looking for someone who is loving, careful, and trustworthy with your pets, I recommend her without hesitation.
